[[WMG: They've been abducted by aliens.]]
* Everyone including the night clerk.

[[WMG: The town is the second (or third) iteration of [[Series/ThePrisoner1967 The Village]].]]

[[WMG: It's all a variant on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment Milgram Experiment]].]]
* They're going to keep offering the SadisticChoice until someone takes it.

[[WMG: They are in Purgatory.]]
* Seriously, someone had to suggest it. Especially after Erika's introduction. There is nothing to contradict it. Janet was kidnapped by someone rich and powerful and killed. Sergeant - KIA, Tori was kidnapped but later killed, etc and they all met on the other side. Why cameras, you ask? God loves reality shows, he wants his own.
** It's possible that Erika just thought she was getting a lethal injection and simply was put into a death-like state long enough to get her out of prison. Regardless, if they are, it still leaves a lot of questions open.


[[WMG: It's all an elaborate {{revenge}} game by someone with [[{{Fiction 500}} a lot of resources]], [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge even more anger]], and still [[BestServedCold more patience]].]]
* Tom, the night manager, and the Chinese guys work for Mr. X. What could the others have done?
** Graham - Pulled a [[FaceHeelTurn Nidal Hasan]] or some variant.
** Moira - Used to be violent and hurt someone Mr. X cared about.
** Charlie - Really did kill his wife, or engaged in financial fraud.
** Tori - If not ''she'', then her father, offended Mr. X.
** Bill - [[{{Jerkass}} is Bill.]]
** Erika - [[RunningGag is]] [[AxCrazy Erika]].

[[WMG: There's two groups. One is the whole conspiracy, the other is a group within it that's rebelling.]]
The guy that rescues Renby and Kat is also the guy that tried intimidating Renby in the first place (if this troper isn't mistaken).

[[WMG: Charlie didn't murder his wife. He just wanted Bill to get off his back.]]
Bill being... Bill, Charlie probably thought that the only way to get Bill to stop is to scare the guy into being a JerkAss somewhere else. So while he did MercyKill his wife, he didn't outright kill her.

[[WMG: The process (to use Tom and Joe's term for lack of a better one) is to test people for mental fortitude in order to fight some bigger hidden threat.]]

Having a CEO and an Ambassador's Daughter and others on your side would be useful. As well, Tori was eliminated after, essentially, breaking down.
